Nope, not free. It costs, but you can email them and ask for a

I'm trying to install M S true type fonts on Edgy but when I type,
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
I get,
Package msttcorefonts is not available, but is referred to by another

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Using VoIP technology it's not actually too difficult to get a
